How many other administration offices held GOP brown bag Hatch Act violations?
I mean you don't really think this gem of a Hatch Act violation was only pitched to the GSA? Do you?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatch_Act_of_1939

The Hatch Act of 1939 is a United States federal law whose main provision is to prohibit federal employees (civil servants) from engaging in partisan political activity.

2. You honestly think that this show wasn't repeated at other offices?

Dept of Agriculture maybe? How about at Interior? The FAA? NASA?

How systemic was it?

5. Only pitched to them? Did you catch this at the bottom?


Looks to me like they PRODUCED this bad boy presentation! How could she say she didn't have any knowledge of this presentation when it is so obviously linked to the agency she was the head of?

6. That was stamped after the fact...
Because the document was leaving GSA. The stamp relates to it being in response to the comittee's request for documents.

The pitch was produced in Rove's offices, I forget the presenter's name.

7. Scott Jennings made the presentation
I didn't realize that it would say they couldn't distribute it without GSA permission once it had been released to Congress.

Does that make sense? was it really stamped on afterward or did the emails about this presentation that said it needed to be "hold close" and not shared in email derail that possibility? I ask because I didn't hear anyone say that was added after the fact.

8. It's a typical CYA thing.
If it's published don't blame the GSA thing.

9. I Worked At DOE and There Were Daily Brown Bag Jesus Meetings
The Jesus-freeks would gather in a cubicle and praise the lord over nuked left-over spaghetti and balony samiches day after boaring day. At least they were civil enough to move it around to different cubicles from one day to the next so they didn't annoy the same neighbors day after day.
